Diamond has a density of 3.26 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a diamond that has a volume of 0.351 cm^3?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Now, I know that the formula is $$M = D \times V$$ where M = Mass, D = Density, and V = Volume.

If I substitute the given to the formula it becomes: $$M = 3.26 g/cm ^{3} \times 0.351 cm ^{3}$$

So... what now? lol

Well, the 3.26g/cm^3 isn't a formula, but more like a unit. This density means that diamond weights 3.26 grams for every 1 cm^3. 

So if the diamond is .351 of a cm^3...:) You can do it! *cheers*
